README file for Chin, Song, and Wright. BJPS. Personalization of Power and Mass Uprisings in Dictatorships.

********************************************************************************************
There are two .do files in the reproduction files: 

  <CWS-BJPS-2022-reproduction.do> includes code to merge data sets and run the kernel least squares estimator for democratic transition that produces Figure 4. 
  
  <CWS-BJPS-2022-analysis-reproduction.do> does NOT contain code to merge data sets; and it comments out the code to run the krls estimator. This code will reproduce Figure 4 but this requires loading <temp-krls.dta>.
  
*******************************************************************************************
The reproduction log, Pers-Protest.log, was used to check the code against the results reported in the pre-print, "PersNVC6.pdf".  This log file was produced using Stata 17.

*******************************************************************************************
The .do files call btscs.ado, which must be loaded into an ado folder for Stata to find. btscs.ado can be found in the folder containing the reproduction files.

*******************************************************************************************
Please ensure all Stata packages listed at the start of the .do files have been installed properly.
